disappearing product
the candles of the bol have primary wicks which burn down to the joint/base connection, and secondary wicks for the tea-light sized candles left after the base is removed. <
the bol is made from all natural beeswax candles that fold out into a fruit bowl and collapse to form a pillar candle that burns for over 50 hours.
simple and sustainable parts collapse
3d printed insert
(cast into candle to reduce wear from base)
the bol â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;disppearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; not just by being burnt but also when it is collapsed, making it easy to store 3d printed base
this product is meant to push the idea of a funcational art object but quoting the design of the satellite bowl and making the iconic design function in a new way - disppearing.

flat-pack chair waterjet cut from a 48’ x 32’ sheet of oriented strand board, this chair can be easily assembled in under two minutes without tools and packs flat to fit in an inch-thick box almost half the size of the orignal material.
a simple system of easy assemble notches and slots form all the chair’s joints and holds together the ‘woven’ seat
<
it’s characteristic curves serve a dual purpose that focus on transforming the material: to mimick the curves of the human body when seated and increase comfort, and to make the individual pieces of the chair ‘nest’ to maximize the limited material.

early prototypes focus on increasing stability using bracing and explore various asethics through different leg orientations
